Book Synopsis A Little History of the World by : E. H. Gombrich
Download or read book A Little History of the World written by E. H. Gombrich and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.
Book Synopsis The 101st Pennsylvania in the Civil War, Its Capture and POW Experience by : Harold B. Birch
Download or read book The 101st Pennsylvania in the Civil War, Its Capture and POW Experience written by Harold B. Birch and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder echoes off the rugged peaks of the Cutthroat Mountains in the Pacific Northwest and shatters the complacency of guests at Slate Creek Lodge. For one of those guests the death of a colleague brings the emptiness of his own life into sharp relief. As far as Donald McLure can see trading the life of a forensic pathologist in Scotland for that of an academic in the USA has been a mistake. Despite the outward appearance of success he feels unfulfilled. He doesn't belong in this country. His work is esoteric. His wife spends increasing amounts of time abroad and is even more distant when she is at home. The only accomplishments that give him any comfort are the security and happiness of his three kids. Although excluded from the official investigation, Donald is fascinated by the details of this ruthlessly planned murder. When his son's ex-girlfriend is accused of the crime he launches himself on a quest to exonerate the young woman. Following threads and inconsistencies that the police are ignoring he encounters evasion and half truths from the dead man's colleagues in Seattle and hostility from the residents of Slate Creek Valley. Beneath the tranquil veneer of rural life Donald encounters people more interested in a twenty-year-old murder that rocked the community than in this recent murder of an outsider. A family of faded aristocrats clings to the myths of bygone times. A bitter and twisted artist paints hostile pictures to offend the tourists. From the tightly wound innkeeper to a nest of anti-government zealots Donald's probing uncovers more about the old murder than the one he set out to solve. Goaded by a collusion of deceit he stumbles into mortal danger, confronts the killer, and faces up to the realities of his own life.
Book Synopsis War of Another Kind by : Wayne K. Durrill
Download or read book War of Another Kind written by Wayne K. Durrill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-04-28 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Durrill describes in graphic detail the disintegration, during the Civil War, of Southern plantation society in a North Carolina coastal county. He details struggles among planters, slaves, yeoman farmers, and landless white laborers, as well as a guerrilla war and a clash between two armies that, in the end, destroyed all that remained of the county's social structure. He examines the failure of a planter-yeoman alliance, and discusses how yeoman farmers and landless white laborers allied themselves against planters, but to no avail. He also shows how slaves, when refugeed upcountry, tried unsuccessfully to reestablish their prerogatives--a subsistence, as well as protection from violence--owed them as a minimal condition of their servitude.
Book Synopsis Whispers of the Long Departed by : Edward Ellis, Jr.
Download or read book Whispers of the Long Departed written by Edward Ellis, Jr. and published by McBryde Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets of our past ... declassified. Herein the reader will find the carefully documented and previously undisclosed story of southern Craven County, dating from before the founding of New Bern through the 1940s. And, told for the first time, how the thriving biracial society on the Neuse River's south shore was radically transformed by both the Civil War and the arrival of Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. The author carefully documents that the Civil War Battle of New Bern began on March 13, 1862, the day before the fall of the city to Union troops under General Ambrose Burnside. An entire chapter is dedicated to the story of the clandestine operations of Rebel spies within occupied New Bern and throughout the counties of Craven, Carteret, Pamlico, and Lenoir. More than half of Craven County's population has been African American throughout its long history. "Whispers of the Long Departed" chronicles the Black History of the area covering the lives of the people in and out of slavery. It's replete with rare cemetery, obituary, property, and census records, lists of geographical names and location, and rich genealogical material spanning 300 years, all beneficial for researchers. Areas covered from the early 1700s to the 1940s include the Neuse River, Slocum Creek, Hancock Creek, Clubfoot Creek, Adam's Creek, Havelock, Cherry Point, James City, Thurman, Riverdale, Croatan, Pine Grove, Harlowe, Bachelor, Blades, Camp Bryan, and more. With additional historical information on New Bern, Newport, Morehead City, and Beaufort. New Bern is such a bright historical sun that it dims all the other stars in the firmament around it. It's only natural that the colonial capital, "The Athens of North Carolina," has garnered the bulk of the scholarship and study since the 1700s. Now, Edward Ellis, the gifted storyteller of New Bern History 101, floods new light upon the Neuse River's south shore through the revelation of amazing stories previously unknown and untold. Written by an award-winning journalist, author, and historical sleuth, Whispers of the Long Departed is the culmination of a lifetime dedicated to the research of southern Craven County and its people, both black and white, who have lived, loved, struggled, and triumphed there from the earliest days of America. Ellis succeeds again for his readers who say his conversational style makes history both highly readable and enlightening. The book offers more than 200 illustrations including 22 original and antique maps plus rare historical photographs and artwork.

Book Synopsis International Law's Objects by : Jessie Hohmann
Download or read book International Law's Objects written by Jessie Hohmann and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International law's rich existence in the world can be illuminated by its objects. International law is often developed, conveyed, and authorized through its objects and/or their representation. From the symbolic (the regalia of the head of state and the symbols of sovereignty), to the mundane (a can of dolphin-safe tuna certified as complying with international trade standards), international legal authority can be found in the objects around us. Similarly, the practice of international law often relies on material objects or their image, both as evidence (satellite images, bones of the victims of mass atrocities) and to found authority (for instance, maps and charts). This volume considers these questions: firstly what might the study of international law through objects reveal? What might objects, rather than texts, tell us about sources, recognition of states, construction of territory, law of the sea, or international human rights law? Secondly, what might this scholarly undertaking reveal about the objects-as aims or projects-of international law? How do objects reveal, or perhaps mask, these aims, and what does this tell us about the reasons some (physical or material) objects are foregrounded, and others hidden or ignored. Thirdly what objects, icons, and symbols preoccupy the profession and academy? The personal selection of these objects by leading and emerging scholars worldwide will illuminate the contemporary and historical fascinations of international lawyers. By considering international law in the context of its material culture the authors offer a new and exciting theoretical perspective on the subject. With an image of each object reproduced in full colour, the book will make an engaging and interesting read for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
